A Question About the New Voting Pre-
cincts.-Lately the County Commissioners estab-
lished four new voting precincts in the county
one in the LIST, two in the Sd and one in the 18th
district. On investigation it ascertained that
the local law provides for the establishment Of as
many as ten new precincts in any one district on
proper application to the Board. while the general
law fails to provide for registration in more than
five precincts of district At least, the law pro-
vides sitting of FIVE days-one day in each pre-
ciuct-where there that number of precincts
and for an additional sitting in the district of two
days in October. The Board contemplated re-
scinding its action, but determined to ask the
opinion of its counsel in the matter. Maj. Yellott
accordingly gave his opinion to the effect that the
local law was mandatory, andsVhere there was an
essential conflict between the local and general
law, the former must prevail, though an effort
must be made to reconcile them if possible. He
did not think these two laws necessarily cOnficted
and regarded it as inadvisable for the Board tc
rescind its orders creating the new precincts, but
that the registers of the districts named should
be provided with the necessary books, that they
might complete their registration by the two days
| additional session in the new precincts of theil
districts in October, and that, if necessary, they
can, without violating the law, sit longer in Octo
